qmailadmin only needs to write to the vpopmail user's directories, that is,
unless you're separating your domains into multiple users and such, which is
unlikely.
vqadmin needs to be able to modify files
in /var/qmail/control, /var/qmail/users, and send signals to qmail-send,
therefore, it needs to be run as root.
